Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. f4f
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression 4f/f. When dividing two expressions with the same base, we subtract the exponents. Since f is equivalent to f1, we have: 4f/f=4f1/f1
Subtract Exponents: Subtract the exponents. f1/f1=f1−1=f0
Raise to Power 0: Recall that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1.f0=1
Multiply by Coefficient: Multiply the result by the coefficient.4×f0=4×1=4
Final Simplification: Since f/f is 1, the expression simplifies to just the coefficient.4f/f=4
